Slightly Ridiculous


 . . . and yet oddly satisfying.


Each Lunch Bucket is actually two separate buckets, so it always feels like I'm doubly maniacal during Mass Production Season. 

Do you see the zippered straps? That's a variation I'm trying, the method for which is in this earlier post.

Goal: for these cuties to be in the shop by next week.

  1. I spot some incredibly cute fabrics! Is the octagonal stitching a new thing as well?

    1. Hi Maryanne! The octagonal stitching isn't new. It's how I "quilt" the insulation to the lining.

  2. Do you put insulating fabric in these? Do you have an opinion on insulating fabric? We get meat deliveries that use wool for insulation and it's very effective, I'm wondering whether to just recycle that for something kids lunch boxes.

    1. Some of my buckets have more thermal insulation than others, depending on what I use in the layers. Sometimes I use Thermaflec with a padding, and that insulates better than regular batting. If you have wool insulation that might get thrown away anyway, it sounds like a perfect (free) option to try in kids' lunchboxes. Give it a good clean (if it's been in contact with the meat, I mean) and try it out! I wish I had free insulation, too.
